  • Publication number: 20080166175
    Abstract: A housing contains electronics used in determining locations of a writing instrument based on wireless signals, defines a chamber in which the writing instrument may be held when not in use, and includes a retention element to retain the writing instrument from falling out of the chamber. In general, in one aspect, a writing instrument includes an elongate pen body, an electrical contact on a surface of the pen body, and a light source disposed near an end of the pen body. The light source includes a light guide having an optically conductive portion and an optically reflective portion.
